Description
English: The Northrup-Burnham-Bickerstaff House, 1199 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York, March 2021. On this classic side-gabled Craftsman bungalow, the initial impression of façadal symmetry furnished by the centrally placed dormer and the enclosed front porch with its quartet of stout tapered pillars is belied by the offset of the front entrance, off to the far right side opposite a spacious window. Witness also the prominent quarter-circular brackets that undergird the widely overhanging eaves, a trademark of the style. Owners of the house in its earliest years include Lewis G. Northrup (1863-1924), a prominent real estate dealer and relative-by-marriage of the locally prominent Knox family of merchants (his daughter Helen married Seymour H. Knox II). Northrup lived in the house from its completion in 1920 until his death, whereupon it passed into the hands of Thomas F. Burnham (1868-1937), a pattern maker and mechanic at Pierce-Arrow who resided there for the following four years. Next was Cora Bickerstaff (1870-1937), the widow of stockyard bookkeeper and locally well-known amateur bowler Gifford Bickerstaff (1868-1917) whose nine-year tenure in the house ended with her death.
